The turned up nose and moronic glare?
         AA#BC

Who's that dumb-looking freckle-faced runt?
F
Jack, Jack the Idiot Dunce.
F
He walks like his feet are on back to front,
F
Jack, Jack the Idiot Dunce.
Bb
When he waddles down the street he looks kind of queer,
Bb
Jack, Jack the Idiot Dunce,
F
Because he's got two left feet and taxi-door ears,
F
Jack, Jack the Idiot Dunce.
Am                               Dm
And when we laugh at the clothes he wears,
Am                    Bb       C
Jack just smiles 'cos he don't care.
Bb C             Bb C
Who's that fool? Who's that ninny?
Bb C             Bb C
Who's that twit? Who's that chump?
C Bb C           C Bb C
The Idiot Dunce, the Idiot Dunce.

When we take examinations he never gets a pass,
Bb
Jack, Jack the Idiot Dunce.
F
And we all put him down 'cos he can't think fast,
F
Jack, Jack the Idiot Dunce.
Am                            Dm
We ridicule him and punch him around,
Am                       Bb C  Bb C Bb C  Bb C
But Jack just laughs and stands his ground,
CBbC         CBbC                  AA#BC
                        riff 1''(   )
The Idiot Dunce, the Idiot Dunce.
C
Yeah, he's so unco-ordinated.
F
Yeah, and so disorientated,
C
And when we have a High School Hop
F
You ought to see that idiot bop
Bb B C               C#
And his arms and his legs
        Dm            G
Seem to have minds of their own,
F
And you don't need brains
To have educated muscles and bones.
C
Yeah, you ought to see him dance
F
He moves like he's in a trance,
C
And when we have a High School Hop
F
You ought to see that idiot rock,
Bb  B    C       C#
And he's finally proved
                      Dm
That you don't need a high I.Q.
                  G
To make your body move.
F
Now he's created a dance that everybody's trying to do.
Jack, Jack the Idiot Dunce.
C
Do the Idiot Dunce.
F
All right put your finger on your nose,
C
Now cross those eyes.
Put your hands on your hips,
F
Now wriggle your backside.
Bb         B       C
Now you've got the knack
                C#
To do the Idiot Jack
          Dm                       G
>From your head to the tips of your toes.
F
Now the whole world's doing it and everybody knows,
Jack, Jack the Idiot Dunce.
F
He's a real cool cat and a real gone groove,
Jack, Jack the Idiot Dunce.
Bb
And the girls go crazy when he starts to move,
Bb
Jack, Jack the Idiot Dunce
F
Now Jack's a success he's got nothing to prove,
F
Jack, Jack the Idiot Dunce.
Am          Dm
Even though Jack is dim
Am               Bb       C
His mother is so proud of him.
Bb C                   Bb C
Hey, who's that groovy looking dude
Bb C                 Bb C
Dancing with all the chicks?
